Kyrenia

Arrived a bit late last night but I must say the journey here was relaxing just got to get used to the time difference oh and the heat - it was 24 degrees at midnite last night all I can say is thankRead more
Kyrenia castle

Really good walk round the castle - didn't think it would take so long to get round - well worth a visit, and it boasts a room with the oldest ever ship in it!
Algardi beach

Well it's 30 degrees so a trip to the nearest beach is called for.
Salamis

Salamis could be an amazing site but unless you go forearmed with information you will simply stare and be amazed whilst you wonder why such archaeology is left virtually abandoned
Bellapais monastery

Trip to the monastery, its only just outside kyrenia beautiful little village called Bellapaise.
Escape beach

An afternoon relaxing on the beach - unbelievably the fish started biting again!
Boat trip

A lazy day sailing along the coast today. No stress or worries just chilling on the sea
St hilarion castle

Wow I think the last time I climbed so many steps was when I visited the treasury in Petra, and believe it or not it is hotter in Cyprus than when I visited petra!
That aside what a fairy taleRead more
Aya Trias Basilica - Sipahpi

Well they say there are some really good mosaics here - but they must have been expecting me!
All that way and it was closed
Kantara castle

Drove back along the road to kantara Castle, its quite a steep narrow track up to the castle and was I relieved when I reached the car park as there were 2 x 56 seater coaches just about to set offRead more
Nicosia

A quick stop at nicosia - not really my thing though - certainly changed a lot since I was last here

A day just browsing the shops. Pleasant time and nice meal on the two brothers balcony

Time to go home

Vienna airport

Well it's busier here than coming out glad I've only an hour to wait
Home

Well it was a good trip, not too sure about kyrenia itself but the castles, history and scenery were fantastic. Its so sad to see such archaeology and artifacts so neglected.
